Governance, Development and Globalisation (Law in Its Social Setting)

Governance and law are today firmly on the agenda of the World Bank and other international financial institutions. As the scope of the governance agenda expands, so does the need to discuss and analyse the variety of factors that should be taken into account to ensure success in theimplementation of governance-related projects. This book, written by a distinguished group of lawyers and practitioners from developed and developing countries, addresses a wide range of issues related to governance both at the local and international levels. It covers topics that have long been onthe governance agenda, such as judicial training, privatisation, financial sector reform and various aspects of capacity building. It also covers many issues that have only recently become part of the development agenda, such as legal education, the politics of institution building in rural andurban communities and the role of political parties in the establishment of democracy. It includes studies that explore the often neglected links between the structures of domestic governance and the growing number of international economic law rules in the areas of trade, investment, technologytransfer and the environment.Faundez, Julio is the author of 'Governance, Development and Globalisation (Law in Its Social Setting)' with ISBN 9781841742489 and ISBN 1841742481.
